The African continent and its territorial heterogeneity are characterised and illustrated by a complexity and diversity of demographic and contexts, including differentiated stages in the process of demographic transition, uneven economic performance, and accelerated and multiform urbanisation.

The African continent and its territorial heterogeneity are characterised and illustrated
by a complexity and diversity of demographic and contexts, including differentiated
stages in the process of demographic transition, uneven economic performance, and
accelerated and multiform urbanisation. Population growth in Africa is set to explode in
the coming decades and the continent will also be faced with a phenomenon it has not
previously encountered: a substantial and rapid increase in the number of seniors. Yet
for now, national policies more frequently prioritise youth than people in their old age.
Owing to considerable socio-economic disparities between urban and rural environments, as well as growing urbanisation and the resulting issues in housing, poverty and
changes in intergenerational relations, ageing is experienced in a number of contrasting
ways on the continent. The use of several levels of analysis sheds light on the way in which
territorial disparities influence the variability of the ageing process in Africa, and on the
recurrence of certain situations beckoning numerous questions. Reflecting the territorial
heterogeneity of Senegal, two case studies illustrate the highly uneven spatial distribution of healthcare services and the role they play in accentuating the vulnerability of
seniors. |
